By Jeff Hamill hat a season with some g r e a t success stories for Chicks hockey here in Chapleau. The peewee team excelled this year winning two tournaments in Sault Ste. Marie and Sudbury.

The peewee chicks went undefeated bringing home the gold medal and the banner.

The banners now hang proudly at the Moore Arena. Great season girls.

Our Midget team also excelled and improved greatly over the year bringing a silver medal from Sudbury. They played at the rep C level and were extremely competitive throughout the year. They were

very close to making it to the provincial championships but lost to Thessalon who ended up winning the bronze at the provincials. You were that close girl's great season.

The Chapleau Girls Hockey Association executive has done a great job this season. Enrolment was down slightly due to the fact we did not have enough to ice a bantam team. CGHA are very optimistic and feel enrolment will be up next season. Hopes are to ice three teams again. The Peewee and Midget teams did very well and continue to be enrolled as part of the largest women's hockey association in Canada the Ontario Wo m e n ' s H o c k e y Association (OWHA) who governs women's hockey in Ontario.

There have been many successes throughout the year.

The girls should be very proud and encouraged with their overall season. CGHA has

come a long way and is building on its successes for a bright future.

Chapleau Girls Hockey Association would like to thank the people of Chapleau for all their support attending games and throughout our fundraising campaign.

Robert Fife wins award from the Canadian Association of Journalists

By Michael J. Morris obert 'Bob' Fife, who was born and raised in Chapleau, has won a journalism award from the Canadian Association of Journalists for an investigative story he did for CTV News.

Bob, the son of Margaret and the late Clyde Fife, and Philip

R

Ling, the CTV Ottawa news producer, won the Open Television Under Five Minutes category on the XL Foods tainted meat scandal. Bob's grandfather, George Fife, was the reeve of Chapleau from 1938 to 1942.

CTV said that the story which aired in Ocober 2012

uncovered repeated citations for deficient safety standards for XL Foods, adding that the canadian meat packing company came under fire in 2012 after E.coli was detected in some of their products. The CTV report found that U.S. officials had warned XL Foods for years about safety issues at their plants.

The awards for 2012 were announced at the CAJ annual gala in Ottawa on May 4.

Bob is the Ottawa Bureau Chief of CTV News. He is a graduate of Chapleau Public and Chapleau high Schools. At the Chapleau High School 90th anniversary reunion festival in 2012, Bob participated in the ecumenical service.

In the 1980s, Maclean's magazine named Bob as the best investigative reporter in Canada. He has also won other awards.

Letters to the Editor Hilda Ritchie 18 Jacobson Drive, S u i t e 5 3 0 , L i v e l y, Ontario. P3Y 1P7 (705) 692-1832, Ext. 530 May 7, 2013 Dear Editor and Dearest Friends: I must first say that I was deeply moved by the farewell reception hosted at Cedar Grove last week.

Also many thanks for the beautiful afghan purchased from the Seniors’ Club by my friends . I know many of the club had their hand in making it. The Prayer Shawl from the Catholic Women’s League is so pretty! Thank you also!

To those who

contributed to the beautiful baking; it looked so inviting, and tasted magnificently!

I’m sure all enjoyed the treats!

And a very special thank to all who decorated and coordinated the event, especially Yvette Joyal, and the close friends who joined in that work.

Lastly thanks to the Seniors’ Club who offered the hall, the equipment, dishes, etc. at no cost.

The many friends and acquaintances who took the time to wish me well have, over the years, provided me a sense of belonging in our town of Chapleau.

It’s difficult to leave you and this town; it has been my home for most of my life and I have many good memories stretching back from childhood, all the way up to this present day.

Chapleau was, and still is a beautiful place to raise a family.

The countryside around Chapleau was good to us, and for many years we enjoyed the company of both Chapleauites, and the many Canadians and Americans who sought adventures in the wilderness around Chapleau.

Now, my family wants me close, and a move to Meadowbrook Retirement Village in Lively brings me nearer to them.

My son Allan

‘Youth in Care' Day will see powwow and traditional adoption ceremony return to Chapleau region On May 14 2013, the Anishi-naabe Abinoojii Family Services, Chapleau Sub-Office in conjunction with the Child Advocacy in Toronto, will be hosting a 'Youth in Care Day' at Brunswick House First Nation.

The events, some of them the first of their kind held in the

area in living memory, will be a Traditional powwow and a Traditional Ojibway Custom Adoption Ceremony.

This Traditional Adoption ceremony is being revived and brought back to the First Nation communities in the Chapleau region.

Following the ceremonies will be a Traditional Feast.

The staff at Anishinaabe Abinoojii have been fund raising for this very special event. The day will be broadcast via link to all Child and Family Services in Ontario.

This is a special event for all families, staff and communities.

All are welcome to join in the celebrations.

and his wife Laura live o n l y m i n u t e s a w a y.

Brian and his wife Loreen (Riley) who live near Canada's Wonderland will be able to visit much more often. Lark and Connie are soon to move south, also to be closer to family. Darryl, and his wife Jane now can fly into Sudbury, cutting off hours of travel.

Honestly, I leave with mixed feelings. But I am not yet done with Chapleau.

This July, I plan to return for a visit with son Allan to visit my nieces Debra Tina, and Bonnie (all daughters of Jeana and Louis Cappellani) at 7-Mile Lake. I'll also look forward to seeing Mya, Doug and Tina Prusky's daughter.

I'll let Yvette know my travel plans, and I'm sure she'll pass the news on to you.

When I am back,

I'd truly enjoy spending a bit of time with as many of you as possible.

I am also hoping that you'll keep in touch with me, and when passing through Sudbury and Lively, you'll stop to visit, if even for a short while. Failing that, a phone call to bring me news will always be

appreciated. My phone number is at the top of this letter.

Once again, thank you; each and all, for the lovely afternoon of May 2 and during my time at Cedar Grove.

I'll miss all of you tremendously.

Hilda Ritchie

Harry 'Butch' Pellow brings back memories of childhood playing at The Big Rock overlooking the 'back river' Chapleau Moments by Michael J. Morris When we were home for the 90th anniversary reunion of Chapleau High School in 2012, we were unable to find the time to bring back our childhood by going to play at The Big Rock, located in what is now the Peace Park on the banks of the 'Back' as

opposed to the 'Front' river, near the Roman Catholic Cemetery.

When I was home for the 100th anniversary of the incorporation of Chapleau as a municipality in 2001, I did make time to visit The Big Rock, and as I

The Big Rock on the 'Back River'

sat on it thinking about my childhood, Keith 'Buddy' Swanson came along with his dog, and joined me. It was to be my last conversation w i t h B u d d y, a n d somehow fitting that it was on The Big Rock, where we could see the pond where he and his friends played hockey on many a bitterly cold winter day.

I managed to get a photo of it, and asked Harry 'Butch' Pellow, one of my oldest friends, to share his memories of The Big Rock, an important place when we were kids growing up in Chapleau. I hope kids still play there but don't go down near the river.

Here is Butch on The Big Rock.

By Harry 'Butch' Pellow The Big Rock was just that.

Emerging from the coarse grass and somewhere from the centre of the universe this seemingly giant granite boulder sat waiting for us to creep up on it as the sun rose on any weekend on a spring, summer or fall morning.

Beside it, the ground was exposed by the regular weekend scraping of h e e l s , t h e r o c k ’s movement due to frost heave in the winter and erosion along the edge of the hillock. In this recent picture you can still see exactly what I mean and all that after almost 65 years.

But it wasn’t just a rock. It was the centerpiece of a cowboy movie, a hideaway from bandits or the law, and where we would shoot, maim, wing, or capture and tie up our adversaries whomever they might be. It was a dry gulch, a mountain top, a cliff, a destination, a point of arrival and a lookout. In fact it would be anything we put our mind to

C

making it out to be.

In the early mornings as the sun rose low from the east with dew on the grass it had a crystalline appearance that quickly faded as the shadows shortened, and by evening it was dark and foreboding. We hid from passersby and calls to dinner from whatever origin in the east of downtown and from the river to lower town.

It was our place, and we shared it only infrequently with new friends or others who we would invite in because w e n e e d e d reinforcements for the cavalry or our posse.

There were the usuals including Morris, E v a n s , S c h r o e d e r, Bolduc, Steen, Hong, Fink, Pellow, Cachagee and other guys too; and even on occasion a few girls who for now will remain nameless, but they would saunter in to see what was going on and wanting to be part of the intrigue and never at the early hour we were there.

Dawn Goldstein enjoyed special status and was part of the usual group.

It was our time, and it remains a mystery to me today that I would even be able to have this incredibly vivid visual and olfactory recollection of the cool, fresh morning air being carried on the breeze over the windy, weedy, Nebskwashi River with its sparkling water creating a glare over the rock that was blinding.

There were other rocks too, other players, and other intrigue, but it was always the cowboys and the other guys; the good guys and the bad guys; and until I saw “Shane” I don’t recall anything meaningful but the out of doors in the movies of

Harry Pellow at CHS reunion in 2012

Michael with his grandmother Edythe Hunt all ready to head off to The Big Rock the day, and never really seeing the kitchen or parlour of a good guy’s family home. For sure they lived somewhere besides behind a big rock, but in those days at the big rock we really didn’t care.

Thanks Butch. A member of one of

Taxpayers Federation Gives Top Waste Award to the $143 Pencil Sharpener Teddy Award to Toronto District School Board’s Contract with the Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council The Canadian Taxpayers Federation (CTF) held its 15th annual Teddy Waste Awards in Ottawa this morning, and the To r o n t o D i s t r i c t School Board (TDSB) walked away with the top local prize for its outrageous contract

with the Maintenance and Skilled Trades Council.

Over a twoyear period the union charged $158 million for routine tasks such as installing a pencil sharpener ($143), hanging three pictures ($266) and installing

an electrical outlet ($3,000).

“It is no wonder the TDSB is running a multimillion dollar structural deficit when they’re paying skilled carpenters $143 to put four screws into a piece of wood,” said

CTF Ontario director Candice Malcolm.

“In the case of the outlet, the job took four hours but taxpayers were billed for 76 hours, as revealed by a Toronto Star investigation,” Malcolm continued.

When union boss Jimmy Hazel was asked to explain these soaring fees, he told the Star, ‘we don’t need to f-----g prove anything to anybody about costs.’

“Today, thanks to Jimmy Hazel & Co., the TDSB receives this well-deserved recognition as the worst of the worst in government waste and arrogance,” said Malcolm. “Giving public sector unions a monopoly on maintenance shouldn't’t be a

license to spend without concern for the taxpayers.”

“Hopefully our waste award will serve as a reminder,” Malcolm concluded.

Diabetes –what You Need To Know

The Foot Exam If you have diabetes, you may have heard your health care provider mentioning that you need a foot exam. Why is this quick and painless test so

important?

T h e m a i n purpose of performing regular foot exams on people living with diabetes is to determine if the person is at risk for diabetes- related foot complications.

People with diabetes are at risk of developing foot problems as a result of nerve damage (neuropathy), poor blood flow or changes in the shape of their feet or toes.

Problems such

as calluses, blisters, wounds or infections can ultimately lead to amputation. The hopeful news is that most amputations are preventable with regular foot screening, proper foot care and wearing properly fitted shoes.

Foot exams can be as simple as a 60 second sensory test to a more in depth look at the entire foot that may take 15 minutes. A sensory test uses a monofilament that is similar to a piece

of fishing line. The tester will ask the person being examined to close their eyes and indicate verbally if they feel anything as the monofilament is pressed against different areas of the foot. In a more detailed exam, toe nails, skin, pulses and foot structure are assessed. Footwear will be reviewed to note if it is offering the wearer the right support and fit.

Key questions that the health provider

Diabète – Ce que vous devez savoir Examen des pieds Si vous êtes atteint du diabète, vous avez peut-être déjà entendu votre fournisseur de soins de santé parler de la nécessité de vous soumettre à un examen des pieds.

Pourquoi cet examen rapide et qui ne cause aucune douleur est-il si important?

Le principal objectif de l'examen régulier des pieds de personnes aux prises avec le diabète consiste à déterminer si elles présentent un risque de complication des pieds liée à cette maladie.

Les personnes diabétiques présentent un risque de problèmes des pieds en raison de lésions

nerveuses (neuropathie), d'une mauvaise circulation ou d'une modification de la forme de leurs pieds ou de leurs orteils.

Les problèmes tels que des callosités, des ampoules, des plaies ou des infections peuvent mener à l'amputation. La bonne nouvelle, c'est qu'il est possible de prévenir la plupart des amputations à l'aide d'un examen de dépistage régulier des pieds, de soins appropriés et du port de souliers bien ajustés.

Les examens des pieds peuvent consister en un simple test sensoriel de 60 secondes ou d'un examen approfondi du pied entier pouvant durer 15 minutes. Le test

sensoriel utilise un monofilament qui ressemble à une ligne de pêche. L'examinateur demandera à la personne subissant l'examen de fermer les yeux et d'indiquer oralement si elle ressent quelque chose lorsque celui-ci passe le monofilament sur différentes régions du pied. Lors des examens plus approfondis, les ongles d'orteils, la peau, le pouls et la structure des pieds sont aussi évalués.

Les chaussures font aussi l'objet d'un examen, en vue de déterminer si elles offrent à la personne qui les porte un soutien adéquat et si elles sont bien ajustées.

professionnels de la santé poseront lors de tout examen des pieds : 1.

Sentez-vous parfois que vos pieds sont engourdis?

2.

Présentent-ils des picotements?

3.

Av e z - v o u s parfois des sensations de brûlure aux pieds?

4.

Sentez-vous parfois comme si des insectes vous montaient sur les pieds?

Un examen régulier des pieds peut aider tant les personnes diabétiques que leurs professionnels de la santé à déterminer les facteurs de risque potentiels à mesure que ceux-ci apparaissent et à les prendre en charge sans t a r d e r. L a p e r s o n n e diabétique et son professionnel de la santé s'entendent sur la fréquence de l'examen des pieds selon le degré de risque élevé de blessures aux pieds.

Parmi les professionnels de la santé pouvant effectuer cet examen, on trouve les membres du personnel des programmes d'éducation des diabétiques, les infirmières et infirmiers spécialisés en soins des pieds, les podologues ou les médecins de famille.

Est-ce que votre dernier examen des pieds remonte à plus d'un an?

Avez-vous remarqué des changements de vos pieds? Si vous avez répondu oui à l'une ou l'autre de ces questions, appelez le Programme d'éducation des diabétiques et prenez rendezvous pour subir un examen des pieds.

will ask for any foot exam include: 1. Do your feet ever feel numb?

2. Do they tingle?

3. Do they ever feel like they are burning?

4. Do they ever feel like insects are crawling on them?

Regular foot examination can help both the person with diabetes and their healthcare professional identify potential risk factors as they arise and manage them in a timely manner. The frequency of a foot exam is determined by how high-risk the person's feet are for wounds and is agreed upon by the person and their healthcare pro-

vider.

Healthcare professionals who are able to provide this exam include a Diabetes Education Program Staff member, a Foot Care Nurse, a Chiropodist or a Family Physician.

Has it been over 1 year since your last foot exam? Are you noticing changes with your feet? If you have answered yes to either of these questions, please give the Diabetes Education Program a call and book an appointment for a foot exam.
